Nautica Voyage

Building off the true essence of the brand, Nautica’s Voyage draws its inspiration from aquatic essences; it’s a lightweight cologne with a long-lasting bouquet. By merging together subtle notes of green leaves with richer ones of dewy moss and woody amber, Voyage offers an appealing option to consider as an everyday cologne. While there’s nothing all that complex about its bouquet, the overall impression it makes is clean and refined. It’s a nice, smooth alternative to today’s more obnoxious combinations. Above all, though, Voyage alludes to a more subtle, traditionally masculine persona, and that’s what truly makes it seaworthy and a must-have in your grooming kit.

When shopping for men's cologne, Nautica probably isn’t the first name that comes to mind. Even if it does, you may be skeptical about purchasing a new fragrance from a mid-tier brand known more for its casual fashion than anything else. However, all that aside, should you stumble upon Nautica’s Voyage, you may be pleasantly surprised for a couple of reasons: For one, it is a premium scent from an unexpected source, and in that regard, chances are you’ll be one of the few guys around sporting the fragrance. Another way in which this unanticipated cologne will delight is the quality of the fragrance itself. Though it doesn’t pull any major punches, Voyage does have distinctive subtleties thanks to its light notes that skew toward aquatic essences. The overall effect is classical restraint, and amid today’s fleet of over-the-top fragrances, that makes Voyage a casual cologne you won’t soon forget.

It’s not all that flashy, but that’s actually what gives Voyage its bankable reputation. While the current trend is to make men’s fragrances representative of a certain “lifestyle,” Voyage avoids all of that modern-day BS. It doesn’t have its own website, blog or spokesperson; it is what it is, and that’s a men’s cologne with a smooth bouquet. The idea is simple: a clean, fresh fragrance exuding a universal pleasantness. By adopting an aura of aquatic bouquets undercut with richer, more seductive aromas, Nautica Voyage has a baseline sophistication that’s lighthearted and masculine. Even better, Voyage is known for its ability to linger on the skin. You can splash it on in the morning and rest assured that it will stick around for a majority of the day. When all is said and done, Voyage is a cologne that can be appreciated for taking a more traditional route and having a more lasting appeal.
